The plug I linked works and fits perfectly. Several forum members have used it including @Sportsguy83.

Quoting a 4 month old post isn't necessary.

Which wire do you guys splice into to send power to your gauges?

It depends. What are the voltage requirements for your gauges? 5v, 12v, etc. My oil pressure sender is 5v, my AFR is 12v so different sources for each.

Which gauge do you have? Does it come with its own sender? The gauge itself may be 12v but the sender may be an analog 5v. It's hard to give you direction without the details of what you're installing.

Which oil pressure sender has it's own power source? Doesn't the gauge usually draw 12v and run a + and + to the sender?

For power to my gauges, I just tapped into the dimmer/HID adjustment panel. There's a post somewhere on here that will show you exactly what to tap (+, Dim, etc). Sorry, I'm too lazy to find it haha

I have a P3Cars gauge and an AEM oil pressure sender. The sender has 12v acc power, ground and a 5v signal. My Innovate LC-2 AFR is 12v gauge and 5v signal.

No it isn't. The 5v is an analog variable input

I used a fuse tap and one of the spots in the fuse box that wasn't being used.

I'm partial to my nexus/torque setup. Sure it can't possibly keep up in terms of realtime info like a standalone gauge, but it can tell me what the highs and lows are, which is all I need. I'd rather have my eyes on the road anyway than stare at live data. Then if I need a more accurate log, EcuTEK provides.

I just ordered the P3cars gauge. After ordering from FA20club last week and no response, I called P3 myself and they said they never got an order from FA20club. So I filed a claim and got my money back. Called P3 back and placed my order. Tim was really helpful and gave me a lot of info on the gauge. I have to say the customer service at P3 is amazing and so is their product! The P3 is clean and you don't have a bunch gauges sitting on a pillar, which I like.

Yup. I just wished it peak and hold all values, had a beep for warnings, and had the ability to display two or three things at once. Like most everyone else, I gotta complain about something or I wouldn't be happy!

I am using the Greedy Multi D/A as well with four sensors hooked up. It will monitor/alarm on three at one time.
@Element Tuning has said that while the oil pressure is higher at the stock oil pressure switch port, it's more important to monitor pressure at the oil gallery port which feeds to the crank. I have my oil pressure sensor hooked up to the oil galley port and will be hooking up up the oil temperature sensor at the stock oil pressure switch location.
